Encouragement of outdoor activities:

Increasingly over the last decade, children are often found more inside sitting down on electronic devices and watching tv. Giving younger kids opportunities to play outside and learn development skills can help later in life when they are older.

Older children such as teenagers tend to stay indoors more on breaks and lunches, installing outdoor playground equipment will ensure more kids will have the option to go out and be productive rather than sit down and stay inside throughout the school day.

Benefits on Physical and mental Health:

Adding new equipment such as trim trails, press-up bars, and leg raises can help physical health by maintaining the normal weight of an age group. This can help them stay fit with daily exercise from our playground equipment. 

Also, a benefit of implementing specialist equipment is helping students with mental well-being, providing opportunities for children to get involved with physical activities that can impact their mental health by releasing stress and calming them down throughout the school day from any pressure they may feel.

Benefits of Social Skills and development:

Introducing new playground equipment to an empty space in the school may lower the number of kids wandering around and bored during their breaks and lunches.

Different types of equipment may influence children to communicate and socialize with each other therefore building skills and learning the value of teamwork and collaboration with one another. 

Creativity & Imagination:

Adding new types and a variety of different equipment can allow children to experience new things and develop multiple senses. An empty playground is completely different from one with equipment as the ones with things to do can encourage kids to become more creative in their free time. 

Adding sensory equipment such as gardens, sand pits, water play, and canopies helps children from a young age to develop multiple skills and senses as it can be hard for some when they are older in their teenage years and not used to being in populated areas such as big schools. 

Learning:

Teaching children from a young age about communication skills can improve their lives and help when they are older, as trying to teach someone new skills when they are older is a very difficult process because they might not understand if they have been brought up and thought different things and ways.

Giving children an opportunity to learn from a young age is the best thing you can do because if they aren’t developing social skills outside of school kids may find it difficult to function in a loud and messy environment/classroom.

Talent:

Having A playground filled with equipment can allow children to be creative and find out what they love to do and what they are good at. Giving a child an option to find a talent they have may brighten up their day and school life giving them a better classroom experience.

Also, it can give kids confidence in themselves, helping them believe in each other and it can give them a chance to burn off all their energy for something to do on their breaks and lunches as they can build up a lot of energy throughout the school day.
